Mir has the edge in striking but outside of that their stats are very close. Both fighters have excellent jiu jitsu and solid takedown defense/offense. The key for Nogueira winning the fight is probably to get the fight to the ground as he has a very slight edge in submission offense, but if Mir can keep the fight standing it very well may be a repeat of their first meeting in the Octagon.

The only way to really find out how accurate these stats are is to make sure you tune in to UFC 140 Live on PPV this Saturday!
